πŸŒŸπŸ’™ Volunteers’ Week Celebration! πŸ’™πŸŒŸ

We’ve had a lovely morning celebrating with the wonderful volunteers from Platform and our amazing TARAGGAN volunteers! πŸŽ‰πŸ˜Š There was plenty of yummy cake 🍰, lots of smiles πŸ˜„, and our volunteers were incredibly proud to receive their certificates πŸ“œ and goodie bags 🎁 in recognition of their hard work and dedication.

Volunteers play such an important role in our communities. They give their time, share their skills, offer friendship, and help make activities possible for so many people. Their kindness and commitment make a real difference every day, helping to reduce isolation, build confidence, and create opportunities for others to connect and thrive. ❀️🀝 A huge thank you to Ceri and Julie for the kind invitation and for helping make the celebration so special. πŸ’βœ¨ Well done to all the volunteers – today we celebrate YOU! πŸŒŸπŸ‘πŸ₯°

Reconnect Through Cookery Fun!

At our first July session of Reconnect Through Cookery, our amazing members got hands-on prepping onions πŸ§…, mushrooms πŸ„, and peppers 🌢️ to add to our delicious Mayflower chicken curry! Some preferred it plain – all served with plain or vegetable rice 🍚 and crunchy prawn crackers 🦐. YUM!
We had a sweet treat too – a slice of chocolate cake 🍰 to celebrate Reese’s birthday! πŸŽ‚πŸ₯³
After lunch, we had a brilliant time playing bingo 🎱 and testing our brains with a fun quiz 🧠 β€” big shoutout to: πŸ’› Peter the caretaker for all his support
πŸ’› Sarah for being our bingo boss
πŸ’› Nat for hosting the quiz like a pro!
These sessions aren’t just about food – they’re about friendship, laughter, learning new skills, reducing isolation, and having a great time together. πŸ’¬πŸ‘«πŸ§ 
Thank you to our fab volunteers and members for making it all possible – you’re the heart of Reconnect πŸ’š
